Filter by:This is a Post Market Clinical Follow Up (PMCF) study to monitor the safety and performance of the GLOBAL ICON stemless humeral component. The data gathered will be used to support post market surveillance of the device, and may potentially be used for additional market access purposes.
The aim of this study is to evaluate periprosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) changes in the proximal femur after implantation of the Fitmore compared to the CLS stem.
This study was designed to demonstrate the safety and performance of the JOURNEY II XR total knee system by evaluating implant survival rates at 10 years using Kaplan-Meier analysis. All participants will be implanted with the JOURNEY II XR total knee system.
Main question: Will use of a stem design that allows anatomical reconstruction of the hip joint improve the outcome in terms of hip function and patient satisfaction without causing any adverse effects? Background: Total hip arthroplasty with use of the most well documented implants is a safe and cost-effective procedure. In the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty register the CLS stem has a 16 years implant survival of 97, 5 %. It is a classic design which requires resection of most of the neck. The stem also intrudes into the greater trochanter which in patients with certain types of proximal hip anatomy makes proper introduction of the stem difficult. Finally it has a standard stem length which will jeopardise future stem removal should there occur any late infection or instability problems. Short uncemented stems have been introduced to enable a more anatomic reconstruction of the hip joint and to cause less invasion of the femoral canal to facilitate future revision should it be necessary. A more conservative resection of neck could also be of value to improve the clinical outcome by improved hip function and patient satisfaction. Purpose of the present study and design: In a prospective study the clinical outcome, stem fixation and bone remodelling around a short stem (Fitmore) will be studied. The main focus will be to evaluate patient reported outcomes especially concerning function, over all satisfaction, pain and activity. All patients will receive the same cup (Trilogy). This cup is chosen because it has a very thorough documentation in prospective RSA studies and in the Swedish hip arthroplasty register. All cups will be supplied with insert made of high molecular polyethylene (Longevity). Number of hips in the study: 44 consecutive cases
By taking certain antidepressant in early postoperative period，which is supposed to improve the psychological status of patients with osteoarthritis, explore the effect of certain antidepressant on the recovery of the early stage after the operation of knee joint replacement.
This study aims to investigate the shoulder function of patients with osteoarthritis or a fracture of the upper extremity after surgery with the Global Unite shoulder system. The majority of fractures of the humerus are non-surgically treated, but for the complex cases where the fracture is irreparable (1), the treatment choice is a shoulder prosthesis called a hemiarthroplasty. Hemiarthroplasty has been associated to less pain and more quality of life , (2,3) but no difference in range of motion is reported when compared to non-surgically treatment of complex humeral fractures. (2,3,4) One of the important steps in surgery of a fractured humerus is the fixation of the bone fragments in an anatomically correct position as previous studies have shown that complications related to the fixation and healing of bone fragments occurred in 11 % of patients treated with a hemiarthroplasty . The Global Unite hemiarthroplasty introduces a new feature, which allows the surgeon to more closely attach the bone fragments. Patients with osteoarthritis and fractures of the humerus will be included from two hospitals, Herlev and Køge University Hospital. A total of 88 patients, 44 osteoarthritis and 44 fracture patients, are included. The patients will be followed two years after surgery and will be seen a total of four times postoperatively, where the function of the shoulder will be examined by questionnaires concerning shoulder function and quality of life, by a motion examination and by x-ray. The outcome of these examinations will be compared to the functional outcome of patients that have received different shoulder prostheses for the same diagnoses at Herlev and Køge University Hospital. The patients will undergo two radiographic scans after surgery, to determine whether or not bone fragments remain in an anatomically correct position in the patients with a fracture of the proximal humerus. A special focus will be on the function of the shoulder in patients with bone fragments that are not in an anatomically correct position. Furthermore, complications and the need of reoperation were registered during the two-year follow-up period. The aims of this study is to - Determine the function of the shoulder in patients receiving the Global Unite prosthesis due to either osteoarthritis or fracture of the humerus. - To compare these results with results from patients previously treated with a different prosthesis designs - To determine the influence of the fixation of bone fragments in the postoperative function in fracture patients.
The Nor-Hand study is a hospital-based observational study including 300 patients with evidence of hand OA by ultrasound and/or clinical examination. The baseline examination (2016-17) consists of functional tests and joint assessment of the hands, medical assessment, pain sensitization tests, ultrasound (hands, acromioclavicular joint, hips, knees and feet), computer tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the dominant hand, conventional radiographs of the hands and feet, fluorescence optical imaging of the hands, collection of blood and urine samples as well as self-reported demographic factors and OA-related questionnaires. Two follow-up examinations are planned after 3 (2019-20) and 8 years (2024-25), respectively. Cross-sectional analyses will be used to investigate agreements and associations between different relevant measures at the baseline examination, whereas the longitudinal data will be used for evaluation of predictors for clinical outcomes and disease progression.
This monocentric protocol is designed to evaluate the efficacy of therapeutic management of symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (resistant to medical first-line treatment) by intra-articular injection of autologous PRP prepared in the same procedure and using a dedicated CE marked medical device and a validated and reproducible method of preparation
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic systemic disease, which is characterized by chronic inflammation in the synovial tissue. Rheumatoid arthritis ultimately results in the destruction of cartilage, bone and ligaments and joint deformity. The underlying hypothesis is that autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal and specific populations of stem cells has anti-inflammatory and regenerative effects and thus potentially alleviates the progression of rheumatoid arthritis. The study is to explore the safety and efficacy of BM-SC transplantation in treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
